My friend Kevin Bowman has a long history with the Fringe. He served as technical director for several years but had a story in him he wanted to get out. Our executive director, Matthew Kerns, urged him to put it to paper and thus Heretic came to be. Kevin was raised in an evangelical fundamentalist church and, being an excellent speaker, was steered into preaching. It became a career but with time, over-commitment, hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance destroyed his marriage and almost destroyed him. He left his past and started a new life. The story was told with tenderness and roaring humor..

Another one, like John Pavlovitz, and my friend Tim, who started as Bible thumping Baptist, then took Catholic vows, and finally became Unitarian as the Heathen Priest. But oh does he give a rolicking good sermon still!!
Good for him getting out.
I agree with Stefan.
